An initial call to the police or 911, exchange information with the other driver, check for witnesses, and to notify your insurance policy are all good practices. Do you know what to do if the other driver leaves the scene and you can no longer complete the critical steps? Here are some practical things to know if you are involved in a hit and run accident. Doing so could help your personal injury attorney Charleston with your case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Immediate Actions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The moments following a hit and run accident can be critical to bringing the perpetrator to justice. If possible, get the license plate, make, model and color of the vehicle that is fleeing the scene. Take a quick inventory to see if anybody requires medical attention and call 911. Provide them with all of the information so that they can immediately dispatch officers to the scene and surrounding areas. While you wait for additional help to arrive, see if you can identify anybody that was a witness and ask them to file a statement. When police arrive, it\u2019s essential to immediately file a report with them and ask to keep a copy for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recouping Your Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While many hit and run offenders do not get caught, it doesn\u2019t mean that you are automatically out of luck. While the police follow any potential leads, you can file a claim with your insurance company under the uninsured motorist portion of your policy. While your uninsured motorist claim is designed to cover your losses, many individuals are not satisfied with how their claim is handled. If that is the case, you should consider hiring an attorney.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Charleston <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you find that your insurance company or the caught hit and run offender isn\u2019t meeting their obligations, reach out to us. The Law Office of Peter David Brown is skilled in handling hit and run cases to help our clients receive compensation that is owed to them.
